Backing Your Folding Camping Trailer
As designed, the weight of a folding camping trailer
pushing forward will activate the surge brake sys-
tem. When backing a camper up a hill, the weight
of the camper may activate the brakes, making it
difficult to continue to reverse.
1. Prior to backing up a slope or through soft
ground, pull the folding camping trailer for-
ward slightly to assure that the actuator socket
is in the forward position.
2. Move the lever (Fig. 3-2) knob on the side of
the actuator downward from the “towing po-
sition” along the curved slot in the actuator
frame to the “back-up position.” The slot has
a notch at the bottom of its travel. Push the lever down to engage the locking notch.
3. The folding camping trailer will now back up. This lever knob will slide into the
correct position when pulling forward.
NOTE:
It is extremely important to keep the master cylinder full at all times. An
empty cylinder invites moisture.
Breakaway Protection
The hydraulic brake system is equipped with a breakaway cable or chain. When towing,
this cable or chain should be attached loosely to a frame member of the tow vehicle,
leaving enough clearance so that the folding camping trailer can turn freely without
actuating the breakaway device.
Should the trailer separate from the tow vehicle, the breakaway cable will actuate the
master cylinder, locking the brakes. This will stop the folding camping trailer in the
shortest possible distance.
CAUTION: Breakaway protection should be fully released during the vehicle
operation. Check this before towing. Do not use the breakaway protection as a
parking brake.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A fire extinguisher is installed near the entrance door in the folding camping trailer. Be
familiar with its location and operating instructions as printed on the extinguisher. It is
too late to become familiar with an extinguisher when an emergency is at hand.
The fire extinguisher is a dry chemical, non-refillable extinguisher. Do not test this
extinguisher. Doing so will cause loss of pressure making the extinguisher unusable. The
extinguisher must be discarded and replaced by a new one if any use has occurred.
